Answer : The correct option is, (C) Place the coefficient 2 in front of elemental iron.

Explanation :

Balanced chemical reaction : It is defined as the number of atoms of individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.

The given unbalanced chemical reaction is,

$3CO(g)+Fe_2O_3(s)\rightarrow Fe(s)+3CO_2(g)$

This chemical reaction is an unbalanced reaction because in this reaction, the number of atoms of iron are not balanced while all the atoms are balanced.

In order to balanced the chemical reaction, the coefficient 2 is put before the 'Fe'.

Thus, the balanced chemical reaction will be,

$3CO(g)+Fe_2O_3(s)\rightarrow 2Fe(s)+3CO_2(g)$

What causes the temperature to decrease with altitude through the mesosphere?

ololo11 [35]

The temperature decreases because there is no ozone in the mesosphere and the amount of air is decreasing.

why can the combined weights of several liquids mixed in an open flask be less than but never more than the sum of all the weigh

nexus9112 [7]

Because you are never adding more than the substances created, nor are you creating any, but should a chemical reaction take place you could see the liquid change form into a gaseous state and that would result a loss of the liquid volume.
So to wrap it all up you can’t have more liquids than what is already there but you could always lose some due to a chemical change, hence the reason it says an open flask, the chemical change would not be collected, mass would be lost
